Hi! I’m Anna! Yes, some day I also had to start publishing at Townownstyle. Until now I was sure that I had lost my inspiration, but since I arrived at Ireland I think I’ve found what to write about. Places to visit, hostels in which stay, foods to taste… I’m discovering this beautiful country step by step and I’ll try to share with you everything I learn from it. If something of what I write down here could help somebody, I will be more than satisfied.

First stop of the trip: of course, Dublin. The truth is that I still can’t say too much about the Irish capital city, as in my case it only was a place where to stay just after arriving from the airport and taking the bus the next morning. Anyway, if there’s something of what I can talk about it, this is hostels in the city.

First, before coming, I started looking for accommodation in Dublin planning to stay one week at the city. So my first choice must had to be a “good, nice and cheap” hostel. However, later my plan changed and, as I was only going to stay a single night, I put on first place to find a hostel that I could reach easily from the airport, that was close to the bus station where I had to go the next morning and that allowed me to keep safe my two suitcases (of 20 kg each). So finally, the price of the room went to a second position. But I still believe that, when I choice Jacobs Inn, I fulfilled all my needs (even the price).

Jacobs Inn. is a member of a hostel network: Isaacs Inn. is its brother, located less than 200 m and two turns from the first one. The hostel is located in the city center, 2 minutes away from de main bus station of Dublin (Central Bus Station or Busáras), 3 minutes far from the river and less than 10 minutes walking from O’Conell Street. Actually, whether you’re staying only one night or spending more days at the city, Jacobs Inn. is a great point to start as it allows you to easily move both on foot or public transport.

If you enter its website, you’re going to see that the prices go from 14 € for sleeping in on bed at a 12-bed room, or 26 € if you want to stay in a triple bedroom. Of course, during weekends and special dates prices are higher, but, in my situation, I only paid 20 € for sleeping on Saturday night at a six-bed bedroom. In addition, at the website you can check the special offers an the group discounts they offer.

The bedrooms are so clean and they all include bed linen and a bathroom. However, if ever there’s overbooking at the bathroom, you’re going to find another one at the corridor. In addition, you can choose if you want a female bedroom, a male one or a mixed one.

Maybe this is not going to be the best review that has ever been written about a hostel, but at least it’s an opinion of a costumer that left really satisfied with it (before I forgot saying that the employees at the hostel also were really kind and friendly all the time). So, to end with, I’m only going to repeat that, if you ever get lost in Dublin, Jacobs Inn. it’s a really good option to consider once it arrives the moment to choose somewhere where to spend the nights. See you on the next post!
